Electactic Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Grinder, Stainless Steel 20 Bar Espresso Maker with Milk Frother, Steam Wand, Removable Water Tank for Latte, Macchiato, Cappuccino

I am so happy with this machine! I'll admit that I had some reservations because of the price point. It just seemed to have too many features for the price, which can often mean a sacrifice of quality. But that is not the case. I've owned and managed cafés, so I'm not going into this with no knowledge or experience. The last machine I used on a regular basis was a $20,000 Faema. Now, I'm not saying that this is exactly comparable to a commercial grade machine, but it comes darn close. The last small, portable, single station machine I had was a La Cimbali, that went for about $3500. I would say that this unit come very close to that machine. The set up was incredibly simple. After washing the removable parts, I dried everything off, filled the bean hopper with Lavazza Super Crema, set the grind to 10 and started the grinder. I ground a couple of seconds worth more coffee than the stock preset. I gave it a good tamping, loaded it up and hit the double shot button. The espresso came out with an excellent crema. The only aspect that was lacking (compared to units that run in the thousands of dollars) is the steaming wand, but it is by no means bad. It's true that it doesn't quite have the pressure that very high end units have, but with a little finessing you can get a nice froth. The included picture is from just my second attempt with this machine. You can see that the froth is just a little lacking here. But you just have to take a little more time with it than you might with a commercial unit. The break down and cleaning afterwards was a breeze. It comes with a few tools for cleaning, but I would recommend picking up a solid back-flush basket for the portafilter for cleaning. In short, I absolutely love this machine. I am honestly amazed at the quality at this price. Highly recommended.

This machine worked fine for about 6 months. Now it produces too much grinds despite having adjusted it several times. Worst part is, you can’t reach customer service. None of their phone numbers are in service and their website chat doesn’t respond…so disappointing

I can’t recommend this espresso machine enough! As someone who used to work at Starbucks and then spent years going there every day (yes, 365 days a year), this machine has completely transformed my coffee routine and saved me a ton of money. I was skeptical at first because I’ve always been loyal to higher-end brands like Breville, but this machine works just as well—if not better—and costs half as much. It’s super easy to use and navigate, but I highly recommend reading the instructions and following the guide to get that perfect shot. Once you dial it in, the results are consistently smooth and flavorful. Make sure you keep the grinder clean to prevent clumping. Recommend buying a little hand vacuum just for this machine. It also comes with everything you need to get started, except for the two espresso glasses shown in the pictures, so keep that in mind. If you’re looking to bring high-quality coffee into your home without breaking the bank, this is absolutely the machine to get!

So far so good, I make espressos every morning and every evening and it does very well. Definitely worth the money. This is my second machine and it works great for what I need it to. My last machine only lasted a year so only time will tell with this one but happy so far.

Our household loves their espressos so this machine means a lot to us. I've been testing many various machines in the past 4 yrs, from some small to larger ones, but this is making a huge difference. You cannot beat the fresh grinded coffee and a nice pressed drip. The espresso is very compact, large deposit of water and very smooth working sound. Very customizable when it comes to the grinding texture and amount, but also very easy to reach a good delicious cup of espresso. It took me a few tries to find the best grinding grade and the temperature for my type of lavazza coffee brand. The bar meter makes it very easy to achieve that. It comes with plenty of coffee cups, single or double or even larger one. The coffee presser is also included, as well as the frother cup. All of it adds to the value as a kit. Overall we are super pleased with the machine and we look forward to make it part of our morning routine.
